The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

Putting aside the ability used by the girl, all of Anti-Entropy's Titan mechas are pre-installed with Honkai energy monitoring modules... What a joke, the peak Honkai energy response is close to 6000hw. With this intensity of Honkai energy, as long as the detection equipment does not have any outrageous failures, Cocolia dares to pat her majestic and proud chest and guarantee that even if the entire Anti-Entropy is packed and sent to the eyes of this Herrscher, it will definitely not be enough to fill the other party's teeth.

Rather, the troops of Heaven's Will have been stuffed in the teeth along with their archbishop.

…Even though they were so far apart, the strong pressure and aura that the Herrscher girl released equally to the people around her had already made Cocolia feel as if a knife was pressed against her chest without any protection.

Damn it... She gritted her teeth secretly, exerted force on her hands and feet, trying to whip her extremely stiff body into moving smoothly.

I haven't yet given the children in the orphanage the ability to save their lives in this collapsing world.

Before the experiment is completely completed, I must not be like that extremely conceited bishop and be killed by that terrible Herrscher.

"Mom Cocolia, what are you doing hiding here?"

Just as Cocolia was racking her brains to think about what she should do to leave this dangerous place without being discovered by those two terrible people, a mature voice with a slight hint of milk suddenly sounded beside her ears.

"Shh, don't act rashly, Bronya."

Because the voice that suddenly sounded in her ears was too familiar, and the tone was too natural, Cocolia, who didn't notice anything wrong, instinctively put her fingers in front of her mouth. She focused all her attention on the terrifying Herrscher, without even looking behind her, and said carefully in a voice that she tried to lower as much as possible:

"Rosalia and Lilia are still on the coastline. As long as there is no major commotion here, they will not come back on their own in a short period of time, given their playful nature. So, we two just need to take care of ourselves first. After the Herrscher leaves temporarily, we can find a way to leave here before they notice us. Then we will be completely safe."

"Don't worry, Bronya, I will definitely protect you..."

Huh? Halfway through her words, Cocolia suddenly froze.

Wait. Whose name did I just call out?

Bronya?

Cocolia, who silently recited Bronya's name in her heart, finally realized that something was wrong. After a moment of daze, she turned her head quickly and looked behind her with a sharp gaze mixed with a hint of uncontrollable fear.

However, when Cocolia saw clearly the person who suddenly made the voice in her ear, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"who are you?"

"Mom Cocolia, didn't you say my name?" The elegant woman, whose facial features were 90% similar to Bronya's, but whose figure and appearance were decidedly different from Bronya's in terms of maturity and youth, raised her hands, and gently supported a pair of magnificent round breasts with her slender arms. Her pleasant and calm voice did not contain any emotion. "I clearly called out Bronya's name, but I didn't expect that Mom Cocolia would not recognize her own daughter even though we haven't seen each other for a few years."

"I……"

Looking at the charming and elegant figure of the woman in front of her, Cocolia was dumbfounded for a long time, and even forgot the threat from the Herrscher for a moment.

——Until the voice of the Herrscher sounded behind Cocolia.

"Bronya, you are here."

Hearing the clear voice of the Herrscher, Cocolia's heart sank and she subconsciously tensed all her muscles. But after hearing clearly what the Herrscher said, she was suddenly confused about the current situation.

"I was wondering why you disappeared after you made the space jump with us. So you came here to look for Cocolia?"

"Yeah." Under Cocolia's horrified gaze, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] nodded naturally, "Since you and Yulandel have taken care of Otto's affairs, then of course I should be responsible for Cocolia's mother's affairs."

"Compared to Kiana, I didn't have time to do anything." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] scratched his head with an embarrassed expression. "To be honest, if I were to face Bishop Otto alone, I might feel a little embarrassed."

"Then you just watched Kiana blow his head off." Li Shubai looked at Youlandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] in surprise, "I didn't sense any embarrassment from your behavior at all."

"Why do you feel embarrassed about this?" Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] showed a surprised expression, "I was just thinking, if we really take away Bishop Otto's life now, what will the other Valkyries of Destiny do?"

"...So you are worried about other Valkyries?" Li Shubai was speechless.

"That's right." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight Yuepo] nodded without any hesitation. "Based on everything that happened to the future me on the Hyperion, Bishop Otto was originally planning to let Kiana and I end his life, right? Since this was Bishop Otto's own choice, then, as his last student, I should of course fulfill his wish, right?"

"If Otto heard what you said now, he would probably feel relieved."

Li Shubai complained casually while following behind Kiana [Herrser of the Fire] with Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul]. After standing still, he casually glanced at Cocolia, who seemed to be completely out of shape because her brain could no longer process the facts in front of her. Then he looked away without caring and looked at Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing], "How are you going to deal with her? Let me make it clear in advance that due to what this woman has done in the past, I am not going to let her stay here and get in the way any longer."

"Let's hand her over to Dr. Einstein and the others in this world first." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] said calmly, "I am not the Bronya of this world, and of course I have no right to make a choice for Bronya and Dr. Einstein in this world."

"What do you think of her?" Li Shubai asked.

"Captain, it's better to leave this question to the Bronya of this world, or the Bronya of three years ago. For me now, what Bronya can't tolerate more than what Cocolia's mother did to Bronya is that she tried to hurt the captain who lost his power." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] rolled her eyes at Li Shubai charmingly, and spread her hands indifferently, "But that's not what Cocolia's mother in this world did. So, if Bronya wants to judge for herself, Cocolia's mother is indeed a good mother - after she was imprisoned by Dr. Einstein and others and had no way to get involved in any matters related to anti-entropy and collapse."

"What a cold and gentle view." Li Shubai shrugged and turned to look at Cocolia. "So, you should have heard that we have decided to hand you over to Dr. Einstein and the others. As for how they plan to deal with you, this matter has nothing to do with me. Do you have any objection?"

"..." Cocolia, who had finally recovered, looked at Li Shubai deeply, but she did not answer him. Instead, she turned her gaze to the direction of Bronya's [Secondary Silver Wings]. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Are you...really Bronya?"

"It's absolutely true." Bronya [Second Silver Wing] showed a faint smile on her face. "Why, even now, Cocolia's mother still can't admit this obvious fact?"

Cocolia shifted her gaze slightly downwards, staring at the pair of majestic creatures in front of her that were even more magnificent than herself. After a long silence, she suddenly revealed a trace of grief, then reached out her hand, patted Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] on the shoulder, and said earnestly in a tone like someone who had experienced it: "Although it may be a little late to come here to persuade you now that you have become like this, Bronya, for the sake of your own body, you must, must not eat some messy dirty things or do some weird surgeries in pursuit of physical beauty. Even if you don't become as big as your mother, Bronya is already cute enough. There is no need to hurt your body just to pursue something that doesn't exist, understand?"

"puff."

"puff."

"puff."

Hearing Cocolia's heartfelt advice, Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul], Kiana [Herrscher of the Fire] and Li Shubai covered their mouths at the same time, and uncontrollable laughter leaked out from the gaps between their lips and palms.

Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings]'s expression froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her face turned blue and purple, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

After a long while, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] finally calmed down and put her hands on her hips. She turned her head, clenched her teeth, and glared at Li Shubai, Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul], and Kiana [Hersher of Fire] one by one with a vicious look, and protested with all her might: "Bronya didn't eat some messy dirty things! She didn't do any weird surgery! Bronya grew up by herself!!"

"Nonsense." Cocolia patted Bronya's head without any hesitation, and said angrily, "Mom, my orphanage has raised so many girls, how could I not know your development? I know your body better than Bronya does. Most girls stop developing secondary sexual characteristics when they are seventeen or eighteen years old. You have been with the silver-haired girl over there and Raiden Mei for more than three years. You should know that when you reach their age, a girl's figure has been completely formed."

"Cough, cough, cough..." The topic suddenly turned to herself. Kiana [Herrserker of Fire], who hadn't caught her breath yet, couldn't help coughing. Yulandel [Glorious Knight, Moon Soul] looked straight ahead with her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, fearing that Cocolia would bring the topic to herself with a slip of the tongue.

"I..." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] stared at Cocolia's earnest words, she blinked her eyes and suddenly felt tired, "Is it not okay for me to develop later than other girls?"

"Then you need to pay more attention to your health. Listen carefully, Bronya. If you don't pay attention when you are young..."

“Waaaaaaaa that’s enough! Stop talking!!!” Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] covered her ears and shook her head madly, “Kiana, quickly send Cocolia’s mother back to Hyperion! Now! Immediately! Immediately!”

"Wait, Bronya—"

With a crisp snap of fingers, Cocolia's body disappeared in an instant.

Chapter 4: Battle for the Herrscher Core (k)

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo.”

After Cocolia left, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] raised her hands to cover her eyes and gasped rapidly as if she felt extremely tired.

For Bronya [Second Silver Wing], in terms of matters related to fighting the Honkai, both the achievements she has already achieved and the results she has obtained in the past have far surpassed Cocolia in both aspects. She can kick all the experiments and bad things that Cocolia has done so far into the sewer without any psychological burden, and with a seemingly indifferent and ruthless attitude, let Dr. Einstein and others give the due judgment and trial to this [mother] who raised her and also hurt her.

But once Cocolia completely resigned herself to her fate and gave up struggling, and at the same time, after seeing the [Hersher of the Fire] completely regaining her humanity and recognizing and accepting the path taken by Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings], and thus revealing her [motherly] side to her again, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] was a little unsure of how to deal with Cocolia.

Suddenly, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing]'s ears moved because she heard someone laughing.

"..." She sighed deeply, loosened her hands that were covering her eyes, and then turned her resentful gaze to the three people who were giggling, Kiana [Herrscher of the Fire], Yulandel [Glorious Knight·Moon Soul], and Li Shubai. She couldn't help rolling her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Laugh...laugh at your sister..."

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she said it, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

The corners of Kiana [Hersher of Fire]'s mouth curled up in a happy arc. She put on a meaningful expression like a life mentor who likes to teach others. Then she reached out her hand and patted Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing]'s shoulder like Cocolia did: "Well, I understand you. After all, it's normal to feel bad when your mother suddenly questions the part you are most proud of. But you also have to understand your mother. After all, she is worried about you. It's not strange that she would mistakenly think that Bronya had relied on external forces when she saw her daughter suddenly have abnormal secondary development. So... hahahahahahahaha..."

Kiana [Hersler of Fire] couldn't hold it back any longer halfway through her words. She covered her fair and soft belly, bent down slightly, and her eyes curved into crescents with tears almost coming out of her eyes. "I can't help it... I really can't help it hahahahahahahaha... By the way, Bronya, I'm actually quite curious too, what on earth did you eat in the future to suddenly become so big?"

Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] bent over and nudge Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing]'s waist with her elbow, looking mischievous: "If you have any secret recipe, why not share it with us? Good things should be shared by everyone."

"..." Looking at Kiana [Hersher of the Fire]'s naughty expression, I always felt like I had returned to Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] eight years ago. I suddenly had an extremely strong urge to take out the Heavy Armor Bunny on the spot and aim it at the forehead of this ignorant Firefly to teach her a lesson.

But as a proper adult, Bronya [Second Silver Wing] obviously had no choice but to fool around with a childish person, so she ignored Kiana [Hersler of the Fire] and squinted her eyes slightly, turning her scrutinizing gaze towards Li Shubai who was watching the show: "Could it be that the captain also thinks, like the stupid Kiana, that Bronya relied on external forces to grow into what she is now?"

"Uh……"

Dangerous topic.

Li Shubai was a little choked up for a moment.

Although his strong survival instinct desperately warned his brain that "you must agree with the other party's words at this time", as the current captain of Hyperion and a time traveler, his stronger desire for knowledge slightly overcame his survival instinct at this moment.

So, after carefully looking at Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings]'s proud figure, Li Shubai touched his chin and asked carefully: "In fact, I am also a little curious about the question asked by Cocolia and Kiana. You know, I can actually observe you from different worlds to a certain extent, and except for you, the other Bronyas who are also a little older seem to have not grown to your current level, so... then... can you tell me a little bit about what you have done in these unknown eight years?"

After thinking for a while, Li Shubai piled up a layer of armor on himself: "Don't get me wrong, I don't think you rely on external forces, but since there is an objective gap between you and the other Bronyas, there must be a reason for this gap."

Kiana [Herrser of the Fire] widened her eyes and stared at Li Shubai in disbelief as if she was looking at a monster. Even Yulandel [Glorious Knight·Moon Soul], who always thought that she had a low emotional intelligence, couldn't help but sweat a little on her forehead.

"..." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] stared at Li Shubai's face silently.

"Uh... a very reasonable guess, right?" Li Shubai said with cold sweat on his head.

"...Hasn't the Captain experienced firsthand what Bronya has accumulated over the past eight years?" Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] placed her arms across her chest, and with the subtle sound of fabric rubbing against skin, her already proud and majestic thing suddenly became even more upright.

"Could it be that after doing those wanton things to Bronya, the Captain is no longer satisfied?" Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] tilted her head, her mature and steady face full of innocence: "If the Captain wants to experience Bronya's touch again here... it's OK."

"Hey! What are you trying to do in broad daylight!" Before Li Shubai could respond to Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings]'s words, Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] became the first to get impatient.

Although she was quite confident in her appearance and figure, after seeing Bronya's weight and shape up close, Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] could instinctively understand that... that pair of dangerous weapons was definitely not an opponent she could defeat at this stage, so she turned her sights towards Li Shubai and righteously denounced his indecision: "And the same goes for the captain! What are you hesitating about! Shouldn't you immediately and righteously reject Bronya's temptation at this time?"

Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Yueping] nodded silently, expressing her approval of her sister's long-lost seriousness and integrity.

Then she heard the upright and serious Kiana [Hersher of the Fire] say: "Even if we really can't help it, we have to be together with everyone! Didn't we agree that since we are going to join hands, at least none of us three can sneak away?"

Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Yueping]'s expression changed immediately.

Wait, what does this sentence mean?

"Captain, Lady Yulandel."

Suddenly, an elegant and gentle voice sounded softly from the depths of Haiyuan City.

The four people present subconsciously turned their gazes and moved their eyes to the person who spoke.

"The necessary equipment for observing the Quantum Sea has been prepared. I should say... Is this place worthy of being one of the underground bases of Anti-Entropy? The storage facilities in the warehouse are much more complete than I imagined."

After Rita interrupted this dangerous topic, Li Shubai breathed a sigh of relief, then his face became serious: "Bronya, Kiana, and Yulandel, the three of you have experience in operating alone in the Quantum Sea. However, in order to prevent Otto, who was driven away by Kiana, from coming back to cause trouble, the main participants of this operation will be Bronya and I."

"Don't you want me to follow you?" They started discussing serious matters, and Kiana [Herser of the Fire] quickly put away her playful thoughts. She turned her head and looked at Li Shubai with a confused and uneasy look. "Although Bronya is with the captain, it is the Quantum Sea after all. To be on the safe side, it is safest to let me, who has the power of the void, follow you, right?"

"I think so too." Yulandel [Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul] looked at Li Shubai seriously, "If the captain asked Kiana to stay here because of Bishop Otto's invasion, then it would be enough for me and Rita to guard the entrance to the Quantum Sea."

"If Otto is the only one, we can make this arrangement, but Otto is not alone after all. Although Mei and the others are guarding the Hyperion, we'd better choose a plan that can gather everyone's strength in the shortest time." Li Shubai said, "Anyway, after this operation is over, Haiyuan City can basically be abandoned. Compared with the Hyperion, ensuring the safety here is not particularly important."

"This time, we have two goals." Li Shubai raised his hand and extended his index and middle fingers. "First, we need to find Kevin and create an opportunity for me to talk to Kevin alone. Kevin will probably not refuse my request after seeing me wearing his clothes."

"Second, let Bronya imitate what Mei did in Changkong City and use her past experience in [transforming] the power of the Herrscher of Reason to transform the Herrscher of Reason's core that is still in Walter Yang's body."

"Then, while completing these two tasks... I will find a way to preserve the first Herrscher of Reason, Walter Joyce, and the part of his will that remains in the core of the Herrscher of Reason."

“Although all I can do is probably only record his will in the form of stigmata into the [Stigmata Space] I once created, however——compared to the will itself, the traces he left in time and the [coordinates] that were preserved are more important.”

[Coordinates] - For Li Shubai, the meaning of these two words is not only the ability to accurately search for [something] or [someone] in a certain place, but more importantly, after obtaining the [coordinates], Li Shubai can try to use the [Event Interference System] located in the Military Intelligence Room of the Hyperion to forcibly intervene in that time period.

Currently, he has selected three coordinate objects:

——Walter Yang, who knew Walter Joyce when he was young, Fu Hua, who actually lived for 50,000 years, and several Herrscher cores from the contemporary civilization era.

In terms of the span of time, perhaps the God's Keys from the pre-civilization era are more suitable as [coordinates], but there is a very embarrassing problem. The Herrscher Cores from the pre-civilization era, because they do not have a ring structure, are difficult to directly link with the imaginary space. Even the Second God's Key that can penetrate space cannot directly draw power from the imaginary space.

At this stage, aside from the [Time] power of the Herrscher of the End, whose actual situation is still unclear, the only method that has been proven to be able to travel through time is to use the energy contained in the time stored in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, using the Herrscher Core's ability to operate on high-dimensional space, to artificially guide it to the time dimension that one needs, thereby triggering the directional splitting of that period of time itself, and forming two different ways of time passing in the world.

With the help of the Hyperion's capabilities, Li Shubai believed that Otto had already verified one side of the experiment, and he would definitely be able to do it, and if he did it well enough, he would not even need to allow that period of time to complete the directional fission and he would be able to successfully rewrite the course of history to a certain extent.

Of course, practice is the only criterion for testing facts, so he did not immediately focus his attention on the large-scale historical revision that he had agreed with Kevin to [change the history of the inevitable demise of the previous civilization era], but first condensed his goals on a few independent people.

Walter Joyce.

Cecilia Shaniat.

Karen Kaslana.

Among the three people he temporarily selected as targets to be forcibly retrieved from history where they had already died, Walter Joyce, who was already a Herrscher, had the highest success rate of [surviving], without a doubt.

After all, judging from the example of Walter Young, the Herrscher of Reason is one of the special individuals who can survive even after the death of his main body. If he had not consumed too much energy and was unable to reconstruct his body, even if his body was reduced to ashes, Walter Joyce should not have lost his life so easily.

Chapter 4 Re-broadcast (k)

With a huge roar, the sea water surrounding the Eye of the Abyss surged. In the spherical space enveloping the Abyss City, the water that should have been forcibly expelled was suddenly pulled by the vacuum and flowed to the top of the spiral building.

At the top of Haiyuan City, standing on the elevated platform, Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] and Li Shubai looked calmly at the vortex that was spinning at high speed around the entire Haiyuan City. In the azure vortex, bright red sword shadows and white gunshots were flying and dancing.

For them, one of whom was a Herrscher of the Void, the process of opening the Eye of the Abyss did not take too much effort. Even though the rift between the Quantum Sea and the real world directly led to a large number of Honkai beasts forming a beast tide that rushed to the Abyss City, with the strength of Yulandel [The Shining Knight·Moon Soul] and Kiana [Hersher of Fire], all the attacking Honkai beasts were crushed and burned in the blink of an eye, and countless white silicon shattered in all directions.

Suddenly, a low roar echoed from the depths of the crack opened by the Eye of the Abyss. After hearing this sound, Li Shubai and Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] seemed to have thought of something at the same time, and looked at each other as if they had telepathy.

"Come to think of it, the thing you destroyed with your car did appear at this time." Li Shubai said jokingly, "Should we let Kiana and Yulandel keep it for now? After you condense the Herrscher Core, you can destroy it again with the motorcycle transformed from the Heavy-Armored Bunny?"

"..." Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings] rolled her eyes at Li Shubai. "If the captain expects to see Bronya's Herrscher power being taken away by Kevin again, then the captain may be disappointed. The Herrscher core that has been transformed cannot be taken out at will like it was in Mr. Walter's hands."

"And - judging from the situation below, even if we ask Kiana and Yulandel to show mercy right now... it seems a little too late."

Following Bronya [Secondary Silver Wings]'s sight and words, Li Shubai cast his gaze towards the entrance of the Quantum Sea. The next second, the low roar stopped abruptly, replaced by a fierce and loud explosion. The dazzling huge pillar of fire was stuffed into the entrance of the Quantum Sea by Kiana [Hersher of Fire] in an extremely rough manner without hesitation.

Fire Flame draws the sword and releases with all his strength - although for Li Shubai and Bronya [Secondary Silver Wing] who were standing on the elevated platform, the low roar coming from the depths of the Quantum Sea was only a little unpleasant to the ear, but for Kiana [Herrser of Fire Flame] who was destroying the Honkai beast tide at close range at the entrance of the Quantum Sea with Yulandel [Glorious Knight·Moon Soul], the roar that was like a devil's sound was so unpleasant and harsh that she could not bear it at all.

So, just because of the casual reason of [the scream is too unpleasant], the indescribable huge skull-shaped monster died gloriously under the sharp flames erupted by the power of fire before it could even reveal its body.
